The Carnival is coming to town!

Saturday morning's tailgate will be the first-ever carnival outside the Dome at a GSU game as the marketing folks have lined up a 40-foot high ferris-wheel and a 20-foot high circle swing ride in the Orange Lot to go with all the other usual pre-game activities in the Brown and Orange lots. The rides open at 9 a.m., three hours before kickoff, and are free.

The Brown Lot carnival theme will continue in the PantherZone with the Mechanical Bull ride, the Rock Wall to climb, the QB Blitz game, the To The Hoop game, and smaller carnival-style games. As always, the video games, the face painting and airbrushing will be available for the fans.

Extra sponsor giveaways this Saturday start at 9 a.m. with J. Christopher's Breakfast Tailgate offering free food, while supplies last. J. Christopher's is a 22-restaurant company in Georgia and Tennessee that serves as a neighborhood casual breakfast and lunch gathering place with a creative menu.
